Wizard World Irregular

314 What Is Your Relationship With Her?

A flying ship soared across the sky, and its destination was none other than Brynhildr Academy.

Standing on the deck of the ship were two teenagers who had been looking forward to arriving at their destination.

They were none other than Cedric and Lilian, who were also part of the Delegations sent by their Headmaster, Nero, to confirm their suspicions about Brynhildr Academy.

After the Gate had closed, Nero had talked to Clara, who was the Team Leader of their expedition.

The Fourth Year student confirmed that, after spreading her talismans to the entirety of the Deathseeker Forest, no traces of the Ancient Wendigo could be found.

This case was simply impossible to happen because no matter how good the vile creature was at hiding its presence, it would still leak a bit of its power, which would then be sensed by Clara’s talismans.

However, after capturing King Manticore and dedicating their remaining time to finding the Ancient Wendigo, their search came to a dead end.

Because of this, Clara and Nero couldn’t help but have suspicions about its disappearance.

In the end, since they had no proof whatsoever, they could only use proper channels to ask Brynhildr Academy to cooperate with their investigation.

Nero even pulled some strings and bribed a few Magistratus to accompany his students. He wanted these powerful wizards to intimidate Ethan’s teammates and find out if they really captured the Ancient Wendigo or knew where it went when the battle ended.

‘I’ll finally see Sir Ethan soon,’ Lilian thought as a faint blush appeared on her face.

If not for the fact that she had a duty to help the members of Nightfall Academy capture the Ancient Wendigo, she might have followed Ethan’s group as they explored the Legacy Domain.

Also, after hearing that the King Manticore’s capture was largely due to the fact that Ethan and his team arrived to help her brother, Cedric, Lilian’s infatuation with the handsome young man only grew.

Witches were naturally attracted to handsome and powerful Wizards.

Of course, some Wizarding Families also looked at the person’s background. But, Lilian didn’t care about that part one bit.

Since Ethan already had the looks and the power to prove his worth, his attraction to Witches like her was very fatal.

Cedric was also looking forward to arriving at the academy. But unlike his sister, the one he wanted to meet the most was none other than Luna.

He just couldn’t forget the angelic beauty who managed to make his heart skip a beat after he saw her for the first time.

During the battle against the Ancient Wendigo, he did his best to protect her, but he fell short of his objective.

If Ethan hadn’t arrived to save her, the first lady whom Cedric loved might have died right in front of his eyes.

An hour later, they finally saw the academy from the sky.

“All hands, ready for descent!”

The Captain’s declaration reverberated across the flying ship, signaling that it was time to land at their destination.

—————————

In the Training Grounds of Brynhildr Academy…

Spells flew toward Ethan, coming from every direction. Since he didn’t have time to kiss anyone to gain some magic power, he resorted to simply dodging most of the spells aimed in his direction.

In the end, he was forced to use a bit of Sebastian’s Power, creating a dome of water using the blue gem embedded in his Sea God’s Trident.

He didn’t use the dome of water to block the spells. Instead, he used it to counterattack.

Since the volume of water he had was limited, he made sure that every attack hit its target.

Nicole, who was fighting not far from him, grinned fearlessly as she unleashed Fire Bullets and Ice Bullets in every direction.

She was still holding back and only used basic spells to fight against her classmates who were hell-bent on gaining Merit Points by ganging up on Ethan and her.

Sir Lionel and the other students watched the battle with solemn expressions on their faces.

The teenagers were observing the battle seriously as if they were trying to learn Ethan’s and Nicole’s attack patterns.

They wanted to find any kind of weakness that they could exploit in order to gain the upper hand when their turn to fight them finally came.

Chloe zigzagged above the arena with her flying broom.

She had already summoned her Familiar, Kon, and the two of them were unleashing Fire Bullets at Ethan, hoping to land a hit on his body.

‘Why can’t you just let me hit you once?!’ Chloe complained as Ethan dodged, and blocked her spells with his trident. ‘Do you really not want me to gain Merit Points that badly?!’

Originally, Chloe thought that, since Ethan was her lover, the handsome young man would allow her to hit him with a spell or two.

However, contrary to her expectations, Ethan was doing his best to defend against all of her attacks, making her pout.

Of course, Ethan knew what Chloe was thinking.

However, that didn’t mean that he would allow her to sneak in some cheap shots while he was busy defending against his other classmates.

Ethan understood that letting her win would be detrimental to her growth, so he fought seriously to the best of his ability.

Truth be told, everyone thought that Ethan would be an easier target than Nicole.

Because of this, fourteen out of the twenty spells would always be aimed in his direction.

Suddenly, a flying ship hovered above the Training Grounds, making everyone stop their attacks.

Several Wizards and Witches, riding on flying brooms, emerged from the ship and descended upon the training grounds.

If not for the fact that Sir Lionel had recognized the emblem on the flag of the Flying Ship, he might have already attacked the newcomers for coming to disrupt his lesson.

“It’s good to see you again, Sir Ethan.”

A beautiful young lady with long blonde hair and blue eyes greeted as she landed a few meters away from Ethan.

‘I had a feeling that she would be one of the members of the delegation,’ Ethan thought as he looked at the young lady who had developed a crush on him in Nightfall Academy.

Chloe, who had been targeting Ethan with Fire Bullets, frowned when she saw the beautiful witch who was looking at Ethan with a sweet smile on her face.

Because of this, she landed beside Ethan and tugged on his robe.

“Who is she?” Chloe inquired.

“Her name is Lilian,” Ethan replied. “She’s a First Year in Nightfall Academy.”

Chloe narrowed her eyes. “What is your relationship with her?”

“Friends,” Ethan answered. “She helped protect Luna in the Legacy Domain.”

After hearing that the young beauty had helped protect her best friend, Chloe decided to not antagonize the young lady who was looking at her cousin like a maiden in love.

When Lilian heard that Ethan thought of her as a friend, the smile on her face widened a bit.

She was half-expecting that the handsome young man would only call her an acquaintance, so when he called her his friend, she felt happy inside.

Lilian understood that she couldn’t take shortcuts in love, so she was fine with starting out as friends.

“My name is Lilian Raylight,” Lilian said as she did a curtsy. “It’s a pleasure to meet you Ms…”

“Gremory,” Chloe replied. “My name is Chloe Gremory.”

Lilian was surprised because Ethan’s surname was also Gremory. She then looked at the young lady with curiosity, wanting to know more about her relationship with Ethan.

But, before any of them could continue talking, Sir Lionel cleared his throat and looked at the delegation of Nightfall Academy with a frown.

“We are currently in the middle of a lesson, so I would greatly appreciate it if outsiders were to move to the side,” Sir Lionel said. “You’re the Delegation of the Nightfall Academy, right? This is not the place where you should park your Flying Ship. Take it away, and stop disturbing my lesson.”

At that moment, someone landed in front of Lionel and gave the Knightly Professor a friendly smile.

“Sorry, Professor,” a man with slightly tanned skin said with a smile. “I’ll make sure that my students behave.”

He turned to his back. “Oi, all of you get away from the arena. Captain, please land the flying ship at the designated landing point.”

The Captain of the Flying Ship barked his orders, and half a minute later, the ship finally left the Training Grounds.

The students of Nightfall Academy also moved to the side of the arena. They were very curious to see what kind of training the students of Brynhildr Academy were doing, so they obeyed their Professor's orders without any complaints.

“Is that better, Professor Lionel?”

“Shut up and scram, Peyton. You’re ugly as ever.”

“… Is that what you’d say to someone whom you had borrowed a large sum of money from in the past?” Peyton looked at his friend with a dumbfounded look on his face.

Sir Lionel clicked his tongue before pointing to the side of the arena, where the rest of the students of Nightfall Academy were standing.

Peyton could only shake his head helplessly as he walked towards his students.

Since he was the one at fault, he decided to wait until Lionel’s lesson ended before the two of them did some catching up and talked about old times like they used to do.
